Why AllSides?
Welcome to AllSides Technologies Inc., a beacon of trust, transparency, and technological excellence in a chaotic, divisive world. 

Our patented bias ratings system now reveals the political leanings of over 1,400 news sources and writers.  It fuels our balanced news, which draws millions across the political spectrum – our latest user survey showed a balanced audience of 20% Democrats, 20% Republicans, and the remainder a mix of independents or something else — a stunning achievement of balance and diversity in the fractured modern news world. 

Now we're pioneering the future of information and conversation with a transparently balanced approach and state-of-the-art technology that will expand our bias and news leadership and apply to far more than political news. Setting new standards for trust, we are using patented systems, ethical AI, an active community, and comprehensive analysis to lead a revolution, transforming how all information across topics, across industries, and across the world is curated, consumed, discussed and understood.

The Opportunity
The total addressable market for our solutions is vast, with a global potential of $77 billion. Our unique technology and position allow us to tap into various markets, including online news, education, AI safety, bias services, dialogue services, corporate/HR, and market research. With a serviceable obtainable market of $356MM, the opportunity for growth and impact is immense.

How We Do It - 3 Pillars of Trust
Here's how our three Pillars of Trust are setting standards via balanced systems and technologies that solve the crisis of credibility: 

• Balanced Analysis: Our patented and multipartisan review systems allow us to rate the bias of news sources and content, and to identify different perspectives on practically any topic.
• Balanced Summation: Our technologies provide multiple perspectives on every story and issue, allowing users to quickly see the broader picture and decide for themselves.
• Balanced Dialogue: Our tools enable civil dialogue across differences and facilitate conversations that build community, loyalty, and network effects.

Products & Services

• AllSides Media Bias Ratings™: AllSides is the #1 US-based balanced news aggregator, giving multiple perspectives from the Left, Center, and Right so readers can get the full picture, spot bias, and decide for themselves.
• AllSides Media Bias Audit™: news content reveals whether experts and everyday news audiences see political bias in reporting and provides actionable insights to help reporters produce more balanced, trustworthy news. Our in-depth bias audits are relied on by 40 newsrooms nationwide.
• AllSides Balance Certification™: is awarded to exemplary news media outlets that issue news reporting substantially free from partisan political bias or that equally balances left, center, and right perspectives. Media outlets that undergo an AllSides Media Bias Audit™ and pass our strict criteria for balance use this certification to prove to consumers and ad buyers that their news product is top quality. 
• AllSides Bias Checker™: provides an on-demand bias rating of any news article. Already being tested by news media companies internally, it will be available to end users in 2024.
• AllStances™: delivers multiple perspectives on controversial topics.  It aids news consumers, teachers, journalists, HR departments, politicians and other decision makers with a 360 view. Soon, AllStances™ will be able to produce perspectives automatically on demand.
• Our Mismatch™ platform connects students from classrooms across the country for civil, virtual dialogue across racial, socioeconomic and other differences. Teachers use this to bring their students outside their immediate world and practice discussion skills that build a healthy democracy — without leaving the classroom.

2024: The Year of the Launch
We’re also excited about our upcoming killer apps and services. Stay tuned for balanced news in all 50 States, Bias Checker™, Bias Estimator™, Auto-Balancer™, AllSides Roundtables™ (which we presented to Congress), and Misinformation Checker™ (which will flag potentially misleading narratives, providing context and diverse perspectives on the claim so you can get the full picture), and more.

Use of Funds
We will spend funds raised primarily on developing technology for products and services, and apps in addition to furthering our marketing efforts toward outreach and awareness. Our goal is to capitalize on the 2024 presidential election's seasonal boost in attention and traffic, establishing AllSides as the global leader in balanced news, technologies, and dialogue.
